I never heard that, I don't see why it would be a problem? For the rim, there is no difference between a straight spoke and a j-bend, the 2 types arrive the same in the nipple, the tensions are supposed to be the same, etc.

I found the info here, it's the type of jbend spokes being used. U can check it out https://www.mtbr.com/threads/straight-gauge-2mm-spokes-on-carbon-build.1094904/

Windvane rims of 27mm internal width, and 360g per rim.
ZTTO M1 hubs.
Pillar X-tra aero 1420 spokes.
Blue Sapim polyax nipples.

And my other wheelset is exactly the same but with light version of these rims (310g per rim).

Hey man, I read that straight gauge spokes like the ones you are using isn't recommended for carbon rims and will void warranty. Is it true?

So far I'm only aware of BBR and myself actually having ordered these things, and they're the only one who's received one. I think it'll still be a long time before mine shows up!

Thanks. I'm still waiting for a review from you guys before pulling the trigger.
